A Nottinghamshire Police spokesperson said: "Officers on patrol in the Harworth area in the early hours of this morning (7 December) came across an insecure property.

"After believing that the front shutter to the unit had been damaged by an attempted ram raid, officers then carried out searches inside and found a cannabis grow of around 30 mature plants, worth a street value of around £27,000.

"A 32-year-old man was later arrested and remains in police custody."

It comes just weeks after another large cannabis grow was uncovered in nearby Bawtry.

A man was arrested after a police swoop uncovered an under-floor cannabis factory hidden in a house.

Officers from the police's tasking team executed a warrant at a property on North Avenue, Bawtry on Tuesday, November 14.

A picture released by South Yorkshire Police at the time showed a scene of crime officer holding a saw which was used to cut through the chipboard roof of the secret grow room that appears to have been covered over with plastic sheeting and mud.
